A girl who died after she was hit by a car on a sports pitch has been named as 10-year-old Poppy Atkinson.
Paying tribute, the child’s family said: “Poppy was the focal point of our lives, everything for us revolved around Poppy’s love for football.
“Poppy was 100% determined to be a professional footballer. Many who know her, and who know her determination to improve and win, had no doubt she would achieve her goal to one day to play for Manchester United.”
A second child, an eight-year-old girl also from Kendal, was taken to hospital, with injuries said to be not life-threatening.
The driver of a black BMW i40, a 40-year-old man from Lancaster, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody.
